Hi Kathy,Activation instructions are provided with the phone. The Quick Start Guide will assist you in completing the process. You can also call Customer Service 24/7 if you need assistance.

First I tried to activate it by using the instructions for online activation. After waiting almost an hour, the website informed me that I would have to call the 800 number instead because they were unable to activate my phone online. After I spent an additional four hours on the phone, they finally got it activated.

Instructions are included in the box the phone comes in. Was very easy for the 97 year old user we gave the phone to.

You need a SIM card to activate it if you have a already have a SIM card you can go online and login to your Verizon account if you already have one and activate it. You can also just call from you Verizon phone *611 or just go to the store for them to activate it and if you don't have a SIM card they will give you one . Hope this helps if you have a 4G LTE phone with a normal SIM card you can put that in it and will work also.

Yes, you can buy it from Amazon and you can still activate it through Virgin Mobile. That's what I did.

I bought the phone through amazon and activated it through the phone for virgin mobile. It helps you do the set up just like any other virgin mobile phone.

Yes, it requires activation. Soon as you turn it on it prompts you to activate it, and you can't access anything in the phone until you activate it.

I personally did not, but had to call and talk to an actual person to activate it (versus doint the #228 auto activation). However, this phone is awful... it is not user friendly. Also, I had two of these and both would shut off randomly; many technical problems. You will likely regret having this phone.

Let me get this straight, I get the phone, I "borrow" a friend's US SIM card, activate the phone by making a call, sending a text msg and use it for min. 5 minutes. Then I take out that US SIM card and put in my non-US SIM card and be able to use the phone from my own SIM card. Is that correct?

You dont have to activate the plan ... as soon as you put the sim in and register it should start working .. if it doesnt work ... return the sim

You will have to buy a SIM card and then phone Straight Talk to have the phone activated.

You need to call the phone number provided in the activation kit to activate the SIM card first.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.
